I am new here and, there seems to be quite a bit of information that I had no idea exsisted

My name is andrew, I recently was shot in the chest a few months ago and I lost everything because the man who shot me also got rid of all my things.

I have very little history sleeping on a good bed, my last one was one of the better ones and, was of the memory foam variety which I liked. now I am sleeping on a beat up futon with a double basic box spring underneath it. This is not a good sleeping arrangement. Now I thought I knew what I wanted in a bed and, as it turns out upon reading this site that I absolutely have no idea what it is I want to sleep on, need to sleep on and need to not sleep on (except I know to not sleep on a beat up old futon with a junky boxed spring underneath). so I hopefully soon will be in the market for a good bed pending employment. I will not cut corners here. There are things which you do not cut corners on and bedding is one of them, shoes is another.

So stating the obvious here, tempurpedic is what I thought I wanted, however they are rather expensive. For a person who is just starting work again after severe trauma, I have alot of bills. You people seem to have quite a lot to say when it comes to this subject and I am asking for any imput that would help me pick out a decent bed that will be the envy of all those who sleep on it or even just gaze upon it. For now all I can tell you is that I sleep on my side and I have a particular fondness for the memory foam stuff. As long as it is not a park bench or a 50$ cheap-O from bills discount mattress I would take all of your input seriously.

Thanks in advance for your time. :wink:

Hi Turkmenbachi,

I’m sorry to hear about all the challenges you have been facing and hopefully the information here can help you find the “best” mattress for you.

The first place I would start your research is post #1 here which has all the basic information, steps, and guidelines you will need and also includes links to many of the most helpful forum posts that can help you with how to make the best possible choice for your specific needs and preferences.

Once you get to step 3 if you let me know your city or zip I’d be happy to let you know about any of the better options or possibilities in your area I’m aware of.
